I think my sisters, who shared all these memories, like reading about these incidents and tell me details that I'd forgotten or never knew. <br /><br />There are a few tales by people like Clive James who talk about Sydney in the 50s. Seems to me you have a contribution to make for Melbourne, and one about Brisbane whose name won't come to me. <br /><br />As an historian for almost my adult life, I wish people would get their story on the web because it becomes part of an important national archive. <br /><br />Much of it is lost. I suppose it's not really possible to record it all though. That would create its own problem.Denis Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12786035137418348609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5722735165669239585.post-70513099057051389762012-03-31T20:19:10.114+11:002012-03-31T20:19:10.114+11:00Thanks, Debbie.

During some of the years my family were in New Guinea I lived with my maternal Grandmother in North Williamstown, Melbourne. She and your Granny could have been twins. Memories and thanking the amorphous godly beings for not being a male child! :-))Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5722735165669239585.post-41145259481568514772012-03-29T17:19:18.398+11:002012-03-29T17:19:18.398+11:00Another tale that paints images so clear to the re...Another tale that paints images so clear to the reader we could possibly be the wasps even ( not that we would ever wish to harm you but so far the characters are you, gran, & the wasps). And once again Denis there is much to smile about - ok laugh out loud about! I quite like this episode idea actually. See you in Ep 2<br />Warmly Debbie GreenDebbie Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09394407763841434057noreply@blogger.com
